The 4,100+ square foot getaway was designed with comfort, community, and play in mind. Six primary suites (each with private bath) - sleeps 15, 10' ceilings throughout, and huge rooms open to 2,100+ square feet of decks, giving you a feeling of spaciousness throughout. There's something for everybody with the great room, featuring dramatic 20' cathedral ceilings, family room, den, game room, two-car garage, huge un-heated pool, and deluxe seven-person hot tub. The elevator makes this an ideal getaway for families with older members and modest kids, as well as handicap features. WHISPERING SANDS is equipped with high-speed internet access, but we recommend doing your surfing on the waves!

Parlor in the family room on a sizable comfortable sectional with a book or movie (CTV/DVD/home theater) from the 100+ video collection, 100 + book library, music (surround sound stereo), dozens of board games, dozens of puzzles, or access the deck with ocean and pool vistas.

When you reach the second floor, savor your time in the 38' wide great room featuring dramatic cathedral ceilings (20') and memorable 180-degree expansive ocean and Pamlico Sound vistas. Savor music (surround sound stereo), catch a movie (CTV/DVD/home theater), or watch the breakers.

Strategies to get the optimal vacation home experience:

When to go & When to reserve a Hatteras rental home:

• Summer is the most expensive season in Buxton. To find the largest rental home for your budget, we recommend reserving in Spring or Fall. You'll benefit from lower rates, greater selection, beautiful weather and the absence of large crowds at the beach and popular attractions. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book a beach front rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the high season. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday vacation on the coast? Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• Book your vacation rental as soon as possible. Rental schedules generally become available 12 months in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many families reserve their Summer vacations during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Eve get-togethers. Reserve before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts offer rate reductions for veterans. Ask your property manager if rate reductions are available for your group before you book.
• Property management companies typically offer their guests an option to add trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of costs for any missed time as a result of personal medical-related catastrophes or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gas expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your property manager for specifics.
• Look for your local visitors guide upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have a copy, you can find them at local shops and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitors guide magazines have coupons for nearby attractions, tours, restaurants, and shops.

Narrow your Search:

• First and foremost, have your group select the best dates and a spending budget.
• Determine how many beds and what type of bedroom configuration your group requires. Ocean-view home with central AC, pool, & hot tub has 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras rentals search.
• Specific details about bedrooms and bed counts & types is often accessible online. If not, reach out to the host before you book the property. Note that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes pull-out couches and bunk beds.
• If there's a certain Hatteras attraction you simply love, browse rentals that are either close by, or those that cater especially to your requirements.
• Proper accessibility amenities can make or break a vacation for persons with disabilities. Make certain to ask about wheel chair entry, pool lifts and specialized equipment needs.
• Remember to include your furry companions! Although a number of vacation homes allow pets or animals, guidelines and costs vary per property. Allowable pet type, breed, and size are often limited. Remember to ask your host before booking, and study your agreement! Additional fees or could be applied to your invoice.

More considerations for your visit:

• Store the owner's information in your smartphone and wallet.
• To make certain that damages aren't attributed to your visit, inspect the rental for any problem areas during check in. E-mail the property manager right away to report any damages. If there is a dispute about legal responsibility later, having the recorded issues and contact attempts will be useful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Feel free to ask questions during your stay.
• Respect the neighborhood. Often times, nearby homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting quiet hours and parking rules can make a stay significantly more pleasurable.
• Speaking of neighbors... Ask a local resident! Locals can often help you find the best spots in town. Who better to ask where to enjoy a steak with a view, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Lock your rental home while you are out. Protect the owner's property and your stuff!
• On check-out day, complete a walk-through to confirm you didn't forget anything. Check garages, decks, and cabinets for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Record a video to document the condition of the property.
• Did you have a wonderful stay? Many rental websites make it easy for travelers to provide reviews. If your rental property and/or property manager was great, they always love to hear your praise. If anything was inoperable and they failed to correct it reasonably, or if the vacation rental wasn't described correctly, you'll want to make it a point as part of your review.
